The democratic party shares most of the blame, but those that withheld their vote exhibited extremely poor strategy which have made their positions and the position of everyone they claim to care about much much worse.
They surrendered what little influence they had. Instead of trying to grow their power like evangelicals in the 70s, they chose to give up and hope that the results are so horrific it creates a left-wing backlash that can sweep in and fix everything.
Hope is not a strategy, and the most likely outcome is what little progress the American left has made over the last 30 years will be completely undone and we will spend the rest of our lives trying to get back to where we were in 2014.

They’re stupid, well-meaning, idiots.
I agree, but why are we picking on the stupid, well-meaning idiots?
This election results show 10s of millions of Americans support fascism, and many different demographics failed to show up to support Kamala.
Singling out the Palestinian support just feels like Islamophobia, or perhaps an emotional reaction to being accused of supporting a genocide.
Those people aren’t on Lemmy so I can’t chastise them here. Believe me, I am writing incredible vitriol to Anita Dunn too
